Captains of Aircraft Map

The map below was prepared by Bruce Johnston, RCAF

Shows the flight plan for a raid on Stuttgart, July 24, 1944.
This route is almost identical to the one followed on July 28, 1944.
The aircrews were concerned that the Luftwaffe would be prepared this time.
Apparently they were. Losses were heavy the night of July 28/29 1944.
